Fifteen years ago i got strucked by arthritis.
The joint of my finger on my right hand the fourth one started by my thumb was terrible swollen and very painful also the same toe on the right foot was hurting very much as well.
I went to my doctor to ask what the problem was. He told me: you have arthritis. Geezzz... I asked him what can i do? Answer: i will give you some cortisone and some painkillers. I thanked him nicely. I know what cortisone did to my mom. Her skin was as thin as a cigarette blade.
So i went home with my pain and start surching information about arthritis. I found me a book from Dr. Giraud Campbell. Tittle: "Arthritis".
Arthritis cured in a natural way. That was something for me!
I start the cure and after SEVEN days my pain and the swollen were gone!
I cured myself two people. They followed perfectly the advise of Dr. Campbell. One got arthritis from eating cheese.
Dr. Giraud Campbell tells in his book. You get arthritis from the chemicals whch your body can't manage. This dirt has to be stored some place. Your body store it on your joints. They get inflammated and yes: YOU HAVE ARTHRITIS. The moment you start eating everything natural. That means nothing that is made in a factory. Everyting as much as possible without chemicals (antioxidant, chemical, colors....). In fact nothing out of a can, a box, out of glass. No dead food. You can eat fish, meat, vegeatables... AS PURE AS POSSIBLE.
Then you take three times a little glas of milk (little bit warm) (also as pure as possible) together with a soupspoon of beeryeist and molasses. Then one capsule of fishoil (omega 3).
Healthy greetings

Thanx for the info on the book, robbieandemy!

Have you been able to pinpoint the specific food group that you think may have caused your arthritis?

Hi Cookie,
You know there is no indication what kind of food i do had to eat! What i did was: after the pain was gone i keep eating the food as clear as possible for more than three months. NOTHING OUT OF A CAN, A BOX, GLASS, PACKAGES, NOTHING THAT IS MADE IN A FACTORY. Clear from chemicals. The European Community give green light for a lot of chemicals which the factorys can add to their products: E321, E453..... . So if i buy some food i first look how many E's there are inside. If there are too many of them i don't buy. After those three months i start eating the things that i like. BUT ONLY ONE KIND OF FOOD AT THE TIME. You know we have overhere in Belgium the best chocolates, the best beer and the best french fries from the whole wide world! So i do love chocolates. So together with my healthy food i start eating chocolate. So if the arthritis doesn't show up: THIS IS NOT THE CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEM. So little by little i start eating normal. Novadays i eat kebab, pizza, lasagna, french fries, chocolate and i drink time to time a nice fruitbeer (very yummy lol). So as long as my body can manage the bad foods there is no problem.
I still working as a cabdriver two days a week. So i met this lady who lived in Curacau. She wrote a book and let it printed in Belgium (my town). So i could see on her hands she had arthritis. So i told her i can cure her lol. She looked at me in a very strange way. She start laughing and asking me: are you kidding hahahaa! So i told her what she had to do to get cured. Three months later by coincidance she jumpted in my cab again (we have only one cabcompany in my town). Ohhh she said: am i happy to see you..... See my hands.... You know from what i got arthritis? From eating too much cheese!!!! Her fingers were straight and without any swollen. The nice thing about joints is: if you treat them well they become their normal shape.
The other lady that wanted to get cured she had arthritis all over her body. She could hardly walk, work, sleep.... It took het six weeks to get cured and she thanked my ex-wife on her two knees.
There was one lady she had a business and her hands were looking like a claw. She could count her money anymore (she had a business) so Dr. Campell cured her. After eating three bars of chocolate her hands were claws again.
So you don't have to follow the doctors rules for the rest of your life, althoose it is the best way of living, just find out which kind of food gives you the arthritis.
Healthy greetings and may God bless you.

Way to take things into your own hands, robbieandemy
And to have things work out positively for you is really grrrreatttt! It's very true that we can often fix our own ails simply by changing our diet.

Belgium chocolate......oh my gosh.....you're making me drool.......

Cokie, get those Guylan Sea Shells a belgian hazelnut chocolate: OMG, fantastic.

Yep, clearly food allergy can cause arthritis. Acutally there are a number of causes. Diet is ever so important. I have managed to control mine without huge diet changes but with different supplements.

You can check for food allergy by checking your pulse before eating a suspect food and then 10 minutes after. An increase will indicate allergy. try then to remove the food from your life for a while and see how you do... but be aware, some people have multiple allergies so for optimum benefit all allergens must discovered and removed.

After living in this remote area where I currently am I am getting a clearer view on how people develop different problems and why they have lots of resistance to diet changes... there just isn't an abundance or variety of organic and fresh foods here... and when I think about it it is likely so for many parts of the country.
